The Washington Commanders lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, and possibly lost Marcus Marcus Mariota to injury. He was cleared of a concussion, but also suffered hand and quad injuries. He’s day-to-day, but with the Commanders playing again on Sunday, we could see more of Josh Johnson at QB. Head coach Dan Quinn said they have the options of elevating Sam Hartman, or signing another QB. Either way, if Mariota can’t play on Christmas Day, it’s going to be a rough game to watch.

Week 16 is not over yet, we’ve got one more game to watch on Sunday. The New England Patriots are visiting the Baltimore Ravens in a game that will have big implications for the AFC playoffs. The Patriots were on an 10-game winning streak until the Buffalo Bills came back from a 21-point deficit to beat them last week. The Ravens are fighting for their division and a spot in the playoffs. Can Drake Maye continue his excellent second season and lead his team past Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?

Dan Quinn spoke to reporters for what’s normally “Tell the Truth Monday”, but it’s on a Sunday due to the game yesterday against the Eagles. The Washington Commanders are on another short week, and have to start preparing for Thursday’s Christmas Day game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Injuries have been the story of the season, and that continues in the final weeks. Marcus Mariota has been filling in at starter with Jayden Daniels shut down for the season, but now he is dealing with his own injury issues. He left the game yesterday with a possible concussion and a hand...

The Washington Commanders hosted the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday, and lost 29-18. The NFL had two games yesterday, but there are still a few more games to watch tonight.

Fox has two games, and the big game is the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the Denver Broncos who have won 11 games in a row. The Jaguars are 10-4 and sitting atop the AFC South with Houston Texans only a game behind. The second game has Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons going west to play the Arizona Cardinals.

No one expected the Commanders to beat the Eagles on Saturday night, but with that said, there were times in this game where our second and third teamers held their own against a far superior football team.

The Refs were on the Eagles side and made their job a bit easier, but despite that, Quinn’s group fought until the end with the journeyman Josh Johnson taking over and backups on top of backups on the field. The result was a 29-18 home loss with two games remaining in this miserable season – one more against this same Eagles team.

Fox has three games, and most of the country will be watching Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers visiting the Dallas Cowboys who were eliminated from playoff contention yesterday. The Minnesota Vikings are visiting the New York Giants in a game that draft position watchers will be very interested in. The lead in the NFC South is on the line when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Carolina Panthers.

Commanders lose another QB — and any fighting chance of beating the Eagles

Marcus Mariota leaves a close game with a hand injury, and Washington can’t keep up in a 29-18 defeat that featured a fourth-quarter brawl.

A hopeful start in a hopeful season had again unraveled for the Washington Commanders by the time the Philadelphia Eagles lined up for a two-point conversion Saturday night.

The visitors had just gone up by three scores late in the fourth quarter. Coach Nick Sirianni decided to go for two anyway. After Saquon Barkley...

The Washington Commanders lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 29-18 at home, and Dan Quinn was at the mic after the game to answer some questions. No QB was made available after Marcus Mariota suffered a hand injury that led to Josh Johnson finishing the game. If Mariota can’t play against the Cowboys on Christmas day, it will likely by Johnson starting with practice squad QB Sam Hartman backing him up. There were also injuries to Sam Cosmi and Johnny Newton were evaluated for concussions late in the game, and Brandon Coleman had a shin injury.

There was a brawl after...

Brief game summary

In a first half defined largely by special teams play by both teams (Washington good; Philadelphia bad), the Commanders held a 10-7 lead at halftime.

Starting Commanders QB Marcus Mariota was injured when his right hand was stepped on in the second half. Third-string QB Josh Johnson couldn’t move the offense, and the Eagles slowly took over the game, finishing with the win by a score of 29-18.

First Quarter

The game started perfectly for the Commanders when Mike Sainristil forced a fumble on the kickoff. Rookie Kain Medrano made the recovery.

The NFL has two games on it’s Week 16 Saturday slate. The Washington Commanders hosted the Philadelphia Eagles earlier, and now we’ve got another NFC division matchup. The Green Bay Packers are visiting the Chicago Bears in a game that will have a big impact in the North and the rest of the conference. The Bears have a half game lead over the Packers, but they lost to them earlier in the season. Can they even up the series and take a bigger lead in the division?

The Washington Commanders are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday in the second game of their four-game stretch against NFC East teams to finish the season.
